How To Get A Genuine Nissan Blank Key Cut - Key Code

[Sean'O]

Hey all,

When I purchased my BNR32 I wanted to get a genuine key copy however the original key had the key code scratched off for whatever reason. Since the original key was quite worn down, having the key cut by the local key cutter at the shopping centre was a bad idea as it wouldn't be an exact cut.

From my hunting around you have two options depending on when your Nissan is from;

1. Your car is Australian delivered: Speak with Nissan and they can supply you the key code once you verify you are the owner via the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).

2. Your car was imported from Japan: Speak with a good locksmith and they will be able to 'read' the key and essentially reverse engineer the code from the original.

Once you have the key code, speak with a lock smith to have your key cut exactly according to the key code.

As my car was imported from Japan I had to go down option two and was referred by Nissan to a local locksmith who was able to help me out

Cheers,
